Immerse yourself in an introduction to New Testament – its history, texts, and theology – in this fantastic unit taught by Robyn Whitaker.

This unit is a great starting point for anyone interested in learning more about the world of Jesus, first-century Judaism, Graeco-Roman culture, and the texts that make up the New Testament. With no prior knowledge assumed, this unit is for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of the Bible, think about interpretation, and understand the historical context of the New Testament.

We begin with the letters of Paul as the earliest texts in the New Testament, looking at the way the first generation of Christians were making sense of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. We then move to the Gospels and other New Testament literature to trace the rise of the early Christian movement from a Jewish sect to its Gentile expansion and explore the range of developing theological beliefs that characterized the first two generations of early Christianity.

Robyn Whitaker teaches this unit in a “flipped” or “inverted” classroom model: lectures and online materials are provided for students to work through in their own time before attending a choice of weekly face-to-face or online tutorials in real-time. This means that students can choose which method of learning is going to best suit their life.

Introduction to the New Testament is a fantastic way to deepen your understanding of the New Testament and delve into the world that Jesus and his first disciples inhabited.
